gcc became really slow, I build $sysroot for my mips64 R10000 Sgi Octane the other week: https://t2sde.org/hardware/workstation/Sgi/Octane/
and going from gcc-4.1 to gcc-7.2 is approximately twice as slow, like 20 seconds instead of 10 seconds for a regular open source application .c file, ... :-/ compiling perl takes 2 hours?
Build [9] at 01/15/2018 from 11:58:30 to 14:07:39 UTC
:-/ thanks god I cross compile most on a datacenter Epyc but still, ...
I remember gcc 2.95.3 on a 200 MHz IDT Winchip2 or AMD Athlon, that must indeed feel blazing fast instead.
I only upgraded the Octane because some packages like glib and friends started to fail without __thread TLS, ... but the price in compile time is just :-/

Why don't you crosscompile packages for such ancient machine ?

How about the binaries though, are they faster or smaller?

of course I do cross compile most of the $sysroot. but although our #t2sde is quite good at that, unfortunately not all the packages are cross compile friendly. https://t2sde.org
PS: I already noticed on my Epyc datacenter server that building latest t2/trunk:HEAD takes like twice as long as a build with downdated gcc/binutils, ... quite a difference when you want to test something and you have to wait 4 hours instead of 2, ..!
